Divinity 2 Does the Game Continue After the Ending
Endings for Elden Ring contains different conclusions of the game that depends on the player's actions/choices made throughout a completed playthrough. These endings unlock different achievements and outcomes of the game's story. This Elden Ring Endings Guide contains all the endings found in Elden Ring, including their requirements and each ending explanation.
Can you get all the endings in one playthrough?
It is only possible to get all endings in one playthrough if you save before the final boss, upload your save data to the cloud, complete an ending and then download the previously uploaded save file and repeat until you have the trophy/achievement for the three endings. So far this method is possible on Steam, PS4/PS5, and Xbox One/Series. You are unable to obtain all endings in one playthrough without editing your save files; once you choose an ending, you're locked into it for the playthrough. You will have to obtain the other endings and their respective achievement/trophy in subsequent playthroughs (NG+).
With the exception of one ending that will explained below, you can work towards and complete all the relevant quests required for each ending without being locked to it. After beating the final boss, you can choose which ending you want to go for out of the endings you've unlocked.

Elden Ring Endings Guide: How to get All Endings in Elden Ring
Overall summary
- There is a total of 6 endings. The player will become the Elden Lord except in the "Lord of Frenzied Flame" ending and the "Age of Stars" ending.
- Any of the four Elden Lord endings grants the Trophy/Achievement, meaning you only need to clear the game 3 times to get all of them, and not 6.
- There is no clear good, bad, or true ending due to the ambiguity of the fate of the Lands Between after the player character mends the Elden Ring in most endings.

In the Age of the Duskborn Ending, the Tarnished chooses to use this Mending Rune of the Death-Prince to begin a new age of Duskborn as Elden Lord - where the Lands Between are engulfed in a harrowing fog and the principle of life within Death is embedded into Order, ridding the world of immortality and allowing the natural cycle of life and death to occur for all people and creatures alike.

Age of Order Ending
(Elden Lord)
Ending Requirements and Conditions:
- Complete Goldmask and Brother Corhyn's questline to receive the Mending Rune of Perfect Order.
- Must not inherit the Frenzied Flame when entering the Erdtree.
How to obtain ending:
- After the final boss, touch Fractured Marika and choose to "Use Mending Rune of Perfect Order" to get the Age of Order Ending.
Ending Description:
The Age of Order Ending is an alternative version of the Golden Order ending, where the Tarnished chooses to use the Mending Rune of Perfect Order on the Elden Ring to restore order to the Lands Between by putting an end to all the strife caused by forces "emboldened by the flames of ambition".
The noble Goldmask once lamented that "all the good and the great wanted, in their foolishness, is an absolute evil to contend with", implying that one who seeks greater power to further his or her ambition will, in all likelihood, presents himself or herself as the greater good and condemn the other side as the absolute evil. Each will accuse the other as committing heresy. Strife would ensue, plunging the Lands Between into chaos and unending conflicts.
The Age of Order thus envisions a new age of stability, where there is no more conflict brought upon by the "fickleness of the gods no better than men" which was "emboldened by the flames of ambition".
"The fallen leaves tell a story

The Age of Order."

Ending Description:
The Blessing of Despair Ending is an alternative version of default ending of the game, where the Tarnished chooses to use the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse and begin the new age as Elden Lord - the difference being, now, the Lands Between has now been overtaken by a reviled curse. While the details of what the curse brings isn't fully explained, it is the same curse brought from Dung Eater's defilement, causing defiled souls to be unable to return to the Erdtree. With the fell curse embedded in the Elden Ring, all present and future generations will be afflicted with this loathsome curse.
"The fallen leaves tell a story
Of how a Tarnished became Elden Lord.
Our seed will look back upon us, and recall.
In our home, across the fog, the Lands Between.
The reviled curse that defined our age.
The Blessing of Despair."

- Meet with the Three Fingers to inherit the Frenzied Flame.

- Meeting with the Three Fingers will lock you out of all other ending choices, unless Miquella's Needle is used at Dragonlord Placidusax's arena at Crumbling Farum Azula. This removes the Frenzied Flame, and is a permanent reversal.
How to obtain ending:
- After the final boss, touch Fractured Marika and choose to "Become the Lord of Frenzied Flame" to get the Lord of the Frenzied Flane Ending.
Ending Description:
In the Lord of the Frenzied Flame Ending, the Tarnished goes down a different path to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame. If the Frenzied Flame is inherited before the events at the Forge of the Giants, Melina leaves the Tarnished's company, leaving the Tarnished to sacrifice their own body at the Forge. This leads to an extra scene at the ending, showing Melina without the mark on her left eye, devoting herself to deliver "Destined Death" to you.
If the player obtains the Frenzied Flame after the events at the Forge, the scene with Melina does not occur, due to her own prior sacrifice.
As explained by the Three Fingers through Hyetta at the end of her quest, this ending sees the Tarnished take up the mantle of the Lord of Chaos, and tasked with burning the world, along with the mistakes of the Greater Will - all existing sin, torment, fracture, and curse - to unite everything and everyone much like the crucible which existed before time.
"Lord of Frenzied Flame...
I will seek you, as far as you may travel...
To deliver you what is yours,
Destined Death"
- Melina
Age of the Stars Ending
Ending Requirements and Conditions:
- Complete the questline of Ranni the Witch.
- Must not inherit the Frenzied Flame when entering the Erdtree.
How to obtain ending:
- After defeating the final boss, use Ranni's summon sign to initiate the Age of the Stars Ending.
Ending Description:
In the Age of the Stars Ending, after defeating the Elden Beast, instead of mending the Elden Ring, the Tarnished summons Ranni the Witch in front of Marika's remains.
Ranni supplants Marika as Goddess and takes The Tarnished as her Elden Lord.
She brings an end to The Golden Order, establishing an Order of her own (not named but likely similar to the Order of the Dark Moon, which we currently know little about).
In doing so she also removes the influence of The Greater Will from The Lands Between.
She leaves The Lands Between together with The Tarnished and takes her Order with her, on a journey meant to last a thousand years. As a result of her absence, The Lands Between is left without a lord for the first time in an age.
In her final cutscene she states the following:
"...The battle is over, I see.
I do solemnly swear. To every living being, and every living soul.
Now cometh the age of the stars.
A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the Moon.
Here beginneth the chill night that encompasses all, reaching the great beyond.
Into fear, doubt, and loneliness...
As the path stretcheth into darkness.
Well then. Shall we? My dear consort, eternal."
Once her questline has been fully cleared, it is possible to go back to her room and talk with her doll, where she further explains her plans with the following dialog:
"Upon the order I envision.
Mine will be an order not of gold, but the stars and moon of the chill night.
I would keep them far from the earth beneath our feet.
As it is now, life, and souls, and order are bound tightly together, but I would have them at a great remove.
And have the certainties of sight, emotion, faith, and touch…
All become impossibilities.
Which is why I would abandon this soil, with mine order.
Wouldst thou come to me, even now, my one and only lord?"
She initially planned to go alone, living in solitude for 1000 years. This is suggested by the description of her Dark Moon Ring:
"Whoever thou mayest be, take not the ring from this place, the solitude beyond the night is better mine alone."
